Current underwater acoustic channel estimation techniques generally apply linear
MMSE estimation. This approach is optimal in a mean square error sense under the
assumption that the impulse response fluctuations are well ...

Natural CO2 releases from shallow marine hydrothermal vents are assumed to mix into the water column, and not accumulate into stratified seafloor pools. We present newly discovered shallow subsea pools located within the ...

This Paper explores the use of an extended Kalman filter to provide real-time estimates
of underwater vehicle position and attitude. The types of previously available sensors
are detailed including strapdown accelerometers, ...

Thirty-two RAFOS floats were launched at the depth of intermediate water, near
750 m, in the Benguela Current along 30S and its extension along 7W. The floats were tracked
acoustically for two years during 1997–1999. ...

The problem of eukaryogenesis—the evolutionary mechanism whereby eukaryotic cells evolved from prokaryotes—remains one of the great unsolved mysteries of cell biology, possibly due to the reductionist tendency of most ...

We present a status report of the accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) facility at the University of California,
Irvine, USA. Recent spectrometer upgrades and repairs are discussed. Modifications to preparation laboratory ...

Availability of workflows for data publishing could have an enormous impact on researchers, research practices and publishing paradigms, as well as on funding strategies and career and research evaluations. We present the ...

Our primary purpose in preparing "A Key to the Stromateoid
Fishes" is to provide field workers and curators with a convenient
and concise aid for the identification of the diverse species in this
somewhat difficult group ...

From the Preface: This handbook of keys is an attempt to fill an obvious need at Woods Hole, the need for a general reference on marine invertebrates for the use of students and investigators who want to know what is here ...

Predatory animals have evolved to optimally detect their prey using exquisite sensory systems such as vision, olfaction and hearing. It may not be so surprising that vertebrates, with large central nervous systems, excel ...

Springer et al. (2003) contend that sequential declines occurred in North Pacific populations of harbor and fur seals, Steller sea lions, and sea otters. They hypothesize that these were due to increased predation by killer ...

Prior studies have shown that perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) of Lake Constance belong to two genetically different but sympatric populations, and that local aggregations of juveniles and adults contain closely related kin. ...

The complex, many degree-of-freedom end effectors at the leading edge
of technology would be unusable in the sea bottom research environment.
Simpler designs are required to provide adequate reliability for subsea ...

A 37 day long field program was carried out in March 1974 on the
New England continental shelf break to study the current and hydrographic
structure and variability on the shelf and in the shelf/slope
front. A second ...

The temporal and spatial variability of low frequency
moored temperature and velocity observations, obtained as
part of the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE), are
analyzed to study the kinematics and energetics of ...

Idiopathic scoliosis is a form of spinal deformity that affects 2–3% of children and results in curvature of the spine without structural defects of the vertebral units. The pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis remains ...

This dissertation discusses the experimental results designed to constrain the processes of
MORB generation. The main focus of this study is to investigate the location and the
related processes of the transformation ...
